You cannot undermine the Commander in Chief without undermining the troops he leads. That is the act of a traitor.
So passionately spoken. bttt
Not if the Commander has violated the supreme law of the country, the Constitution. It is an undeclared war, therefore an illegal war. That,in fact, is the righteous argument of many Republicans when Clinton wanted to bomb Kosovo.
“You cannot undermine the Commander in Chief without undermining the troops he leads. That is the act of a traitor.”
I’m thinking “undermine” was a bad choice word. Here, oppose, speak out against, seek to change, etc., would suffice. Since to some, undermining may suggest something more devious and under handed.
Either way, one can absolutely support our troops without supporting the President regardless what anyone else might say or believe. Commanders in the theater of war are dutifully replaced when they fail to perform. Were they traitors too? Of course not. They simply failed to deliver and were replaced.
We can’t do the same with the CIC. In the meantime, citizens have a right to disagree with the President’s policy and his war effort good or bad. For anyone to suggest otherwise is unAmerican.
